I notice that Qube have reduced their short position: I'd imagine they now face the issue of reducing their position without driving the price up too much. Or would they just hold their positions to keep their hands on the interest income? Any other thoughts about this: I've not followed anyone in this extreme situation before so will be interesting to see how things go.

Whats wrong with "in like Fl-ynn"? They've starred it out.

in like ***** i would think before the shorters start bagging their multi million pound windfall (100% gain leveraged for some).

J P Morgan wade in with a price target of 1685.

Meanwhile, Canaccord, Jefferies and Qube have initiated a sudden drop in the share price with their ultra low ratings of 758 and 730 and increasing short position respectively.

Share price is rocking up and down by as much as 20% in a day, this is madness for any company, a steady ship is desirable.

Maybe we'll see the end of it when the official figures are published tomorrow.

Just to add an additional note to be fair, particularly to new investors, I may have purchased shares in the company so any rise in price would be to my benefit.

This is why you should do your own research and at least look up the link posted previously to check that it really exists.

You may have to register with Simply Wall Street to view the page, but it is "free" to do so, where "free" means that there is no cost to you, but the proprietor may benefit from your registration in some way.

I have no personal gain to be made by you registering with SWS, nor do I have any reason to believe that registering will be in any way detrimental to you.

As you say, Canaccord do not mention that, according to Simply Wall Steet, Future is good value based on its Price-To-Earnings Ratio (8.5x) compared to the peer average (10.7x).

Also, using their discounted cash flow model, Future is trading at 73.4% below their estimate of its fair value, where fair value = £31.77, compared to current market price (£8.46 at time of review).

As you say it looks like a weighted opinion to me that is aimed at benefiting companies that hold short positions. I wonder how much illegal activity is going on below the radar: should the FCA be looking into this, I wonder. After all, this is not the first time that they appear to have done this.

On Thursday Future should simply confirm the position that they have already disclosed to the market and any positive news on top of that will be a bonus. Any substantial negative news should already have been disclosed by the Directors.

Furthermore, Canaccord's "thin air" speculation doesn't give any air to the possibility that the company may be outperforming its peers.

Barrel of rotten apples, I think, the lot of them.

(all imho!).

Don't forget that they've managed to do all this without going bust and that is no small feat in itself.

Give Callum credit for the work that he's put in on this.

Yes, there was no need to look at issues over a period of time, the people responsible are so clever that they were able to do it all at one fell swoop. This had nothing to do with marketing gloss at all. It was just down to the extraordinary skills of the management team in being able to identify immediately where people just weren't needed at all. This will not cause any issues relating to people being overworked or missing from work due to stress. I am sure that the skilled management team have considered this and found it to be irrelevant. There is a plan in place anyway to help anyone that is feeling stressed and this is guaranteed to work I imagine. So there is no risk of finding that the company cannot deliver in time because they will be easily able to get the people back that they have purged. I mean it's not like they will find alternative employment elsewhere and no longer be available when you need them back. They will just be there at the touch of an imaginary marketing button.

OK I'm a bit disappointed.

I went to register on the site but there is no option to register unless you get a quote. The other two sites let you register without taking out a quote. Take note Future: YOU NEED TO CHANGE THIS!!!

Also the other two sites let you choose which cookies to accept: GoCo do not. You have to accept all cookies without any choice. Take note Future: YOU NEED TO CHANGE THIS!!!

As it stands, I won't be setting up an account with them, and I am a share holder!!!

Very disappointed. May reduce my share holding as a result of this poor experience.

This will obviously have a negative effect on anyone wanting to simply register with them with a view to going back for a quote at a later date. I'm very concerned about their approach with both these issues. The man with the t'ach is at considerable risk of wasting his breath.

AHL short down by 0.1%, Qube up by 0.1%. I expect AHL will continue to reduce if the share price approaches their opening position. Qube are in for a penny, in for a pound, no doubt. Big gamble?

I've never used GoCo to date because I've always remembered the other two big names from previous advertising on TV. However I think that I'll register with GoCo as well. Easier to remember the short name: it may stick with people following their TV advertising campaign. Looking forward to seeing further capture of market share? Seems like a reasonable expectation to me.

It looks like this was a glitch on the lse web site which has now been changed. The shorts appear to be still open.

Lesson learned: don't believe everything you see on the internet.

The FCA data will be updated by tomorrow, I would think.

Apparently all shorts have now closed, although this is not recorded on today's UK government report. Prompted ahead of the UK government Autumn statement, perhaps,

I believe that AHL Partners made a good profit on their dealings, but I think that Qube might have been caught "with their shorts up" so to speak. Navigating muddy waters is always a risk.

Cancel that last post, I got the decimal point in the wrong place again! It's a bit more complicated than I suggested.

I think that it's just a restatement of position due to the reduction of the number of shares in issue following the share buybacks. They have a higher percentage stake now. So do I come to that!

Careful guys, don't be seen to be ramping the share or you might get flamed by the enthusiasm police :)

Just to follow up, "Qube Research & Technologies Limited" opened a new short position on the 25th October at 0.51%.

Maybe they are expecting a fall back in price on no news. Not seeing it at the moment.

A couple of large trades went through this morning at just after 9am GMT. Marked here as purchases but could be sales? Might see a movement of share price following this. If it is someone topping up on the dip or someone getting favourable terms, then I would expect a big rise tomorrow. As I mentioned before, I have now seen a 20% rise in a day on this share. Now seen it twice. Could go either direction depending on the nature of these trades, perhaps? Wish I had a magic ball.

Up and down on the whiff of a färt for now

If you have an endemic issue with "work shy" staff, that puts a different slant on it. However, are they really "work-shy" or are they victims of over-working/stress?
